I think the car looks sick, even when its dirty, because thats the point of these cars...They're meant to be driven and looking like they were...

AWESOME CAR! Nice attempt making your first vid and keep that positive attitude in the face of haters man!
thanks man!i need that

People amaze me sometimes, they act as if "winning" a car show is that same as winning a Super Bowl ring or the Stanley Cup or an Olympic gold medal. Please, people, get a life.
im saving lives almost everyday..and yet people are so mean to me

no offense and your car looks great but this just goes to show again, that show judges are freakin morons. they have zero clue wtf to look for in winning "show car" most of the time, its the most riced out vehicle on the lot that wins. i guess we have the very opposite side of this in fabs case where they chose the most stock vehicle as its winner.

I have won multiple trophies for mine as well. When you have it spotless and nice mods, you usually get a winner. Remember the HR doesn't have much we can do to it to make it really show worthy especially the engine area.

The bodykit is one radical one that you can get on the Z so it draws a lot of attention.

The car is a far cry from "pretty close to stock" LMAO!

Car looks good man Did you get your gears and diff installed yet? Had in Vid on your list of Mods! My car will be done today. They had some issues installing the Quaife Diff. Was told it was not an easy change out when replacing the VLSD diff. Clearence issues! So I had to stay an extra day to have the diff machined.

There is really only a Half dozen Nismo's like our's that are heavily modded and stand out from the pack! Job well done....

Shine up those mufflers damnit.... lol

I don't want to have to pick up the extra expense for a product that was incorrectly made!!! The shop said after doing some online research they learned of other's who shared this problem! Quaife should step up and correct their design or CAD drawing to perfect thier product!!!! If I am charged extra I will be contacting Quaife..... I think its BS that they sell it as a direct replacement when in fact if this is true.... Its not

I haven't polished mine yet. I will before winter storage. Mine doesn't look bad at all.
